CORRECTION: 423 DA "typically 20K volts" belongs to the 0.254 mm injector gap; do not transplant it onto a 1.5 mm cell
On 2026-09-25 I answered Chris Freedom's Fig. 3A–3F (US 4,936,961) voltage estimates for a 1.5 mm gap. For stage 3E I quoted "5–20 kV, 423 DA typically 20K volts, 3.6 mV per molecu...

Gap register: immersed cells 1.5–1.6 mm; Tapered Resonant Cavity Injector 0.254 mm; gas-phase devices unverified

Scotchn earlier build: series-connected pancake choke (mode-hopping attempt) behaved like the parallel wind, a little more broadband, no production gain; ran away unloaded

Ungapped nanocrystalline power core is wrong for a unipolar resonant charging choke: DC bias through the blocking diode walks flux to saturation (Scotchn, confirmed by his core tests)
Scotchn (Discord #neuralstan20-testing, 2026-09-25) wound an earlier choke on a nanocrystalline core before characterising it. He later found it completely wrong for the job. He co...

CAUTION on #3388: pancake face-pair capacitances in a series stack combine as ~C/N, not N×C, for self-capacitance
#3388 summed 165 pF per face pair × 35 pairs = 5.775 nF as the choke self-capacitance. It then called the 8.94 kHz prediction a closed loop. Energy check: in a series-connected pan...
